Title: Wormy Black Ironwood
Post by: Bills Custom Calls on February 27, 2011, 05:21:08 PM
I went to Kiem lumber on Friday afternoon and came across a block of this ironwood
First time I had ever seen it,so I just had to give it a try so I made a howler and a closed reed call.Yes both calls are made from the same chunk of wood

Nice calls Bill. Not sure if it's new or I just never noticed But on the bottom 2 calls I like the outside taper you put on the end of the barrels of those calls. Looks nice.

I have used the taper before awhile ago and just started bringing it back
